There has been little qualitative research in Taiwan on the experiences of nurses who encounter the moment of child's death from their own perspective.
Using a phenomenological approach, this study worked to understand the essence of the caring experience for nurses at the moment of a cancer child's death from the nurses' own perspectives.
Researchers used Colaizzi's (1978) phenomenological method and collected data using purposive sampling and in-depth, tape-recorded interviews. Data were analyzed using the Colaizzi (1978) method. Ten registered nurses from a medical center participated into this study. The trustworthiness of the study was examined using Lincoln and Guba (1985) principles.
Five major themes emerged, including introspection on caring for dying children after their death; coping patterns of nurses; toleration and ability to help to ensure the child has a good death; facing death and consoling the soul; and accompanying parents though the moment of death.
Study findings provide evidence-based information on nurses to care for cancer children and their families facing the moment of death.
在台湾，从护士自身角度出发，关于其遭遇儿童死亡时刻经历的质性研究较少。
本研究采用现象学方法，从护士自身角度去理解癌症患儿死亡时刻护士关怀体验的本质。
研究人员采用科莱齐（1978）的现象学方法，通过目的抽样和深度录音访谈收集数据。数据采用科莱齐（1978）的方法进行分析。来自一家医疗中心的10名注册护士参与了本研究。研究的可信度依据林肯和古巴（1985）的原则进行检验。
出现了五个主要主题，包括对患儿死后护理的反思；护士的应对模式；容忍度以及确保患儿善终的帮助能力；面对死亡与慰藉灵魂；以及在患儿死亡时刻陪伴父母。
研究结果为护士护理癌症患儿及其面临死亡时刻的家庭提供了循证信息。
